*looks up* yep still up there cant fire off at someone being wrong until it actually happens and if you wanna get into details they said it "Should"
hit earth friday at some point...not today.....so you sir have jumped the gun a day and half early!

With the excuse all these skeptics give on this forum about how NASA has the worlds most brilliant minds and that we shouldn't question them, when it
comes to space objects like Elenin and YU55 because they are the greatest mathematicians....well, they surely should be able to calculate with their
advanced physics models where and when this thing should land....

They know its speed. They know its altitude. They know its fluctuations in altitudes. They know at what height re-entry point is.....SO....WHY DON'T
THEY KNOW?!?!?

because the fact is....it isnt just following one set pattern its been changing it..some days it moves little closer...others it moves a little
further out...its hard to say where it will land for sure when the data they receive is always different...now lets say it was the same every
time...then they could say here!...but if that was the case it would of hit earth awhile ago

but then again...it would suck badly if it falls unto someone walking down the street final destination style X_X.

if it hit my house id be happy...nasa would be paying to replace it all

The fluctuations in altitude can be calculated. I have been monitoring and it's surely calculable. It can all be calculated by the greatest minds on
this planet and some of the most powerful computers.

It's utter bollocks. They know. In fact I may even go as far as to say they 'planned' for where it will land.

can you prove it and without a doubt tell me where its going to land 100%? because as soon as you say *this is where it will hit for sure* you are
now responsible for anything that happens if it does..or doesnt follow that path...if anything they dont want full responsibility falling on their lap
because they knew..this way they can say...we didnt know whoops..

so what im gonna say is if you can do the math and YOU tell me where its going to land

i'm more convinced by the minute with the notion that NASA *covertly* planned for everything

1) Solar activity has a great effect on the atmosphere at the altitudes at which the satellite is orbiting and will re-enter. The density in these
regions changes from hour to hour. The density determines how quickly the satellite slows down. The rate at which the satellite slows down determines
exactly when it will encounter dense enough atmosphere to slow it out of orbit. While it is possible to get a general idea of the state of the upper
atmosphere, it is not possible to know exactly what it's doing or what it will do.

2) The satellite is tumbling. That tumbling also affects how the satellite is slowed by the atmosphere. In turn, the atmosphere influences the
tumbling. The attitude at which the satellite is found when it does encounter the denser atmosphere will have a great effect on when it re-enters.

Those two variables are sufficient to limit the accuracy of the calculations. But, as we have seen, as time goes on and the window gets closer range
of values for the variables decrease and the estimates become more accurate.

Re-entry is expected sometime during the afternoon of Sept. 23, Eastern Daylight Time. The satellite will not be passing over North America during
that time period.

Although I believe that NASA don't tell us the whole story about a lot of thinks I believe them that it's impossible to predict the touch down
point. There are so many unknown variables in that formular. If you look at the speed (7.5KM/s at the moment) you can easily see that an error of a
few seconds will result in a touch down place several 100 miles off your calculaton. So it's much better to say 'We do not know' than 'Hmm, maybe
China but could also be Russia or Europe'.
I guess we have to wait until tomorrow to have at least a chance to predict the country or area.
